We’ve been experimenting with a new design element. In an open shelf or a cabinet with glass doors, a woven back can add texture and dimension. We especially love the idea for kitchen cabinets and are working to include it in a project now.

A local artist asked us to build some shelves for her studio overlooking the Cumberland River. The natural pine connects the surrounding nature to the space, while the simplicity of the design balances style and function making the artist’s collection the featured element of the studio.

It’s never just a bookcase. It holds our favorite stories, our souvenirs from far away places, our collections, and photos of the people we love.

We know we aren’t just building shelves. We are creating a place to hold and display memory. For us, building a shelf feels like an act of care.

Friends, this is the pantry that would have you excited about putting groceries away, grabbing ingredients for a birthday cake, or sneaking downstairs for a midnight snack. Our East Nashville clients had the vision and we built it.

We love the vintage inspired brass hardware, the classic blue paint color, and the white oak accents. But our favorite design element is the original historic house windows as cabinet doors.

Do you have some historic windows lying around? Why not incorporate them into your next cabinet project? That’s exactly what our clients in East Nashville asked us to do for their walk-in pantry. We love intentional design, architectural preservation, and keeping good materials out of the landfill. What will be the inspiration for your next project?
